Chapter 27

|| Savannah's POV||

" Shit! You are so smart, Sav! I must say that my brother has a great eye!", Aria rumbled as she fixed her hair in the mirror a thousand times. She fixed a sudden date with Lucas. Which was why, she was very cautious about her look. Just a few moments ago, she didn't even bother to impose a tomboy. Love sucks! We were heading back to the house after stalking Finn. Yeap! With evidence! I had a strong feeling that their conversation had something that could help Ares to return to JK again.

Finn didn't recognize my cell phone even after finding it, right beside him. I guess, too many girlfriends had wavered his thoughts as he was seeing too many girls lately. Perhaps, he was like this from the beginning and it was me who trusted him blindly.

" Just right here, Sav!", Aria's voice pulled over me as I stepped on the brake, stopping nearby a coffee shop. I didn't see Lucas anywhere around but Aria assured me after hopping down from the car,

" Lucas is right here, Sav. You can go. Ares will be home soon. You don't have to wait."

I nodded, smiling at her before restarting the engine,

" Okay, cool. Enjoy your date!"

His familiar presence blanked me as soon as I entered the hallway, finding him sitting lazily across the couch. Ares seemed tired and something was going on. He didn't seem excited after attending PK's club this day. Every time, he came back home, he looked extra worried.

Weren't they welcoming to him?

" You are back. Where's Aria?", Ares spoke, pushing the cushion aside to sit up straight. I replied, slipping out of my shoes,

" She had a date with Lucas."

He muttered some low curses without letting me hear and laid back on the couch. His eyes stayed on mine as I parched on his way, ready to dig out the truth of his stubborn mouth. I plopped on the other couch in front of him, earning a deep glance from him.

Folding my arms over my chest, I spoke flatly,

" Tell me honestly, what is going on Ares? Are they treating you badly in PK? Don't you dare to lie to me? I can guess that you are hiding your true feelings all this time. What is going on?"

I stared hard at his face sternly, giving him no choice but to refute. Although he seemed to hesitate at the beginning, he eventually gave up and sat up to face me cowardly. He knew that I could detect him lying!

Ares runs a hand through his messy curls frustratingly. I could count the veins on his forehead since he was furrowing too hard. After an exhale, he admitted crossing his legs together, over the fluffy couch,

" Coach Jonathan from PK, he doesn't seem to like me, Princess. He is being rude to me for no apparent reason. No matter how hard I worked, he always seems dissatisfied with me. I am just afraid that he wants to resign from PK on my own. Believe me, I am trying so hard."

I sucked a raw harsh breath. Anger boiled inside me since I heard that Finn had done something in PK. Without restraining myself anymore, I slammed my phone over the center table and growled furiously,

" This piece of shit! Finn has something to do with this decision, Ares. I overheard his conversation. This is his recorded conversation. I don't know if will it help or not but at least, listen to this for once."

Ares stared at me with disbelief, flickering in his eyes. Shrugging, I started with the recording to be heard upbeat music in the background. Ares's look told me that he had many things to ask but for now, he paid attention to the recording.

" Baby, you were upset on the call.", It was the woman who was seen with Finn. She even sounded so clingy on the phone.

" Your father, is he still angry?", Finn replied with an icy tone through the recorder.

" No, but he seems pissed off for losing Ares. You know, he was his best player.", that clingy woman replied and I saw Ares, sitting up straight with a serious expression. He was too immersed in the conversation.

" Soon, I will beat Ares and become his new favorite!", Finn replied with a scoff sternly.

The girl grinned sheepishly and even through the recorder, I could imagine her big toothy smile. She replied again,

" I trust you, Finn but I am scared that if you can't win, Dad will kick you from the team for sure. He was so mad at me when I begged him to kick out Ares from his club."

What the fuck!

Ares and I both looked up at each other as realization knocked us together. How did we miss the part that Finn was fucking JK's coach's daughter?

The conversation continued and Finn ended up saying before yelling at the staff, sent by me,

" Besides, I have brainwashed my previous coach. Surely, Ares wouldn't learn anything from PK's coach. What the hell, dude? Who dropped this on me..."

I stopped the recording hastily. I knew we had heard the main parts of this conversation. After that, the staff couldn't stay by their side anymore and had to take his leave after cleaning.

Silence reigned between us until I growled, sitting straight from the chair,

" Fuck, Ares! We need to pass this evidence, asap. How can he do this to you? Asshole! Just for a fucking trophy!"

Ares grumbled, speaking through his gnashing teeth,

" Shit! I should have guessed it long before. He is a dick head. I feel like broadcasting it everywhere."

We both were angry extremely. As much as I would have loved to see Finn's rattan face, a second thought came across my mind.

Would it put Ares in danger? After all, there were more names, associated with this incident.

I spoke sending him a glance,

" But Ares... Wouldn't it make you an enemy against JK's coach? Besides, it was certain that Finn had double-played here. He even went to brainwash coach Jonathan's thoughts for you."

Ares seemed to fall into a deep dilemma. After a short silence, he cursed pressing his palms over his face,

" Fuck! You are right, Princess. This shit can affect me before the final match. We better wait."

I nodded in agreement before sighing,

" I can't argue on that. You are right this time but Ares, Finn is up to something. How did he turn PK's coach against you?"

Ares rumbled angrily,

" No idea! He seems unapproachable."

I was worried after hearing him. Although, he was the best player, being hated by a coach would push his luck to worse only. Besides, Ares wasn't a patient man who would tolerate his disrespect for this long. He would eventually lose control of his temper. I guess, that's what they wanted.

Resigning on his own!

" Wait!", suddenly his voice raised, glaring at my face with a dark gleam. Crossing the minor gap between us, he queried pretty roughly,

" How did you manage to get all this recoding, Princess? Were you spying on Finn?"

Well not spying but I guess, it could be better described as stalking. I just spent a few hours on his daily schedule and then, it was easy to find his malicious plan. Ares seemed somehow pissed off as I responded, playing with my tank top,

" Not exactly! I...I was just stalking him for a whole day. "

His jaw clenched, anger taking over his feature. Shaking his head in disappointment, he muttered angrily,

" You shouldn't have done this, Princess. This is dangerous for you. What would have happened if Finn saw you out there? Did you even imagine?"

Not! But I was determined to find every single clue.

Shrugging off my shoulders, I replied bossily without meeting his cold eyes,

" Well, I had to do it for us, Ares. I am not going to see you lose for someone who just broke my heart. I better take this risk of stalking him."

My words didn't cajole his temper. Ares approached me suddenly like a hypocrite and raised my chin to meet his eyes. His blue eyes were glowing in rage and I could feel a raw desire burning through my veins.

Fuck! His sinful touch! He was pure seduction!

His voice came out husky as he looked down at my slightly parted lips,

" Never do this again, okay? Finn can be dangerous especially when he is pissed off with you or you can't just accept the reality that he is your ex now or won't hurt you ever!"

I might be wrong but I detected a certain jealousy behind his tone. Swallowing, I barked without taking off my chin from his grip,

" I just wanted you to help."

Ares's eyes flickered with emotions. The warmth caused by my words in his heart reached his eyes and he stared into my eyes for a long time. He murmured, a small smile forming from the corner of his lips,

" You don't need to. There's nothing important more than your safety to me, Princess."

I sucked my lips dry. A gust of overwhelming emotions gripped my soul. I couldn't breathe anymore as the intensity of his words shook my vulnerable heart. Every time that he spoke, It felt like I was the only one in his eyes, his entire world.

Shit! Savannah! You are falling for his little game again!

My mind was yelling at me consecutively but I blocked them all out. All I could feel was Ares and his smell on my skin. He was already leaning towards me. Our lips nearly touched and the lust in his grey eyes dumped my panties.

His lips were so cool! Kissable!

As if I was some kind of robot, I stayed numb, motionless at my spot, watching him bending down but he stopped midway abruptly.

Shit!

He muttered a loud curse and rubbed his neck painfully. His expression defined that he was holding back his hunger so much. Then he muttered whipping his head back to find his cell phone,

" I am crossing the line, again. Go, upstairs, Princess. We will think about this tomorrow."

Disappointed to miss his kiss, I cleared my throat awkwardly before saying him goodnight and strode upstairs clumsily. Hopefully, he didn't notice how flustered I was.

|| Ares's POV ||

Fuck!

It was mental torture to have Savannah in this house. I had already crossed the line to finger fucking her that night. Now watching her care for me turned me on so badly. I just wished to do nothing else but hear her moans as I sucked the hell out of her pussy. She was even sexier when she was caring for me.

Frustrated over my hormones, I decided to call Kevin because I needed to take over the situation control fast. Finn was already sitting there in calm to see me in defeat but I wasn't going to sit back and do nothing.

Kevin answered the call after a few times. His voice came out groaning,

" Hello, Ares! What's up with you?"

He sounded annoying as I just broke his beauty sleep. Keeping my jaw clenched hard, I spoke in a serious voice,

" Kevin, I need you to help with something."

I heard the sound of bedsheet rustling as he sat straight to listen to my words attentively. After a few seconds of my explanation, Kevin burst into anger, his growling voice passing out through the speaker,

" That asshole! How can he do this to you? I am going to beat his ass."

I knitted my brows tightly together. Kicking me out of JK, Finn had gone too far this time. At the same time, I was glad that my princess was there to comfort me while Finn was surrounded by selfish bitches.

How couldn't he see that she was a goddess?

Leaving the thoughts aside, I spoke to Kevin in a deeper voice,

" Even if we have the proof, we can't use it now. This will involve JK's coach image that I can't afford to ruin. He was my teacher after all but you can help me, dude."

Kevin sounded eager as he replied without a second thought,

" Of course, we are forever buddies. But what do you want to do!"

I managed to come up with a short time plan although the result was unknown. Raking fingers through my hair roughly, I blew my cheeks out heavily,

" I want you to figure that what did Finn do to convince PK's Coach. He is bullying me indirectly and wishes me to resign on my own. I can't let this happen, Kevin. You have to find it."

Kevin sounded clueless as he asked back,

" But how can I do this? I don't even know him."

A devious smirk grew from the corner of my lips as I suggested crossing my legs lazily,

" Flirt with his youngest daughter for a while. It would help a lot."

Backfired plan! I was going to Finn's trick on him!

Kevin laughed hard,

" But you could have done it on my own."

" Nope, I am a single man now.", I replied, thinking about the distant memories. In no way, I was going to cheat on our relationship. Although it was all a revenge game for her, I couldn't ditch my goddess. She was my moon whom I couldn't afford to lose. I was very close to her melting heart. Taking a such big risk wasn't worth it t all. Talking about Finn, I would show him his worth.

Savannah will always be mine! MINE ONLY!
